Subject meets notability in the following four ways: LingLass (talk) 01:47, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Scholarly impact: major impact of publication on Google Scholar citations for articles with: 212 cites, 195 cites, 189 cites, 185 cites, 132 cites, 82 cites, 80 cites, 76 cits, 70 cites...
 * 2) Administrative post: Associate Dean
 * 3) Head Editor: Editor for nine years of the Canadian Journal of Linguistics
 * 4) Impact: Besides formal theory, works on underdocumented languages, in this case Nepali.
 * Looking at things through a surviving-an-AFD lens (FWIW, I think it's better than a coin flip but not a clear certainty)... Associate Dean does not meet ACADEMIC#6; the journal has an editor and a co-editor (so the presumption of ACADEMIC#8 is debatable with the implication that the first is primary and the latter is secondary); and impact needs to be demonstrated - one way or another - by third parties, her most-cited works are co-authored, and her h-index is 10 (yes I know there's controversy with using h-index, but if high enough it can be sufficient for a marginal keep from a number of !voters). Material from reviews of her work would strengthen her claims to notability (but unless there's a lot of coverage it's still unlikely to be a lock). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 10:38, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
